Abstract (en)
[origin: US6426984B1] A digital system includes a master device, a set of slave devices, and a clock generator to generate a clock signal. A transmission channel includes a clock-to-master path extending from the clock generator, through the set of slave devices, to the master device. The transmission channel also includes a clock-from-master path extending from the master device and through the set of slave devices. The transmission channel also includes a slave-to-master path positioned between a first slave device of the set of slave devices and the master device. A master-to-slave path is positioned between the master device and the first slave device. The cumulative length of the slave-to-master path and the master-to-slave path creates a master routing phase shift between a clock signal on the clock-to-master path and a clock signal on the clock-from-master path. A first lead samples the clock signal on the slave-to-master path. A second lead samples the clock signal on the master-to-slave path. A clock latency adjustment circuit is connected to the first lead and the second lead to produce an adjusted clock signal on the master-to-slave path to compensate for the master routing phase shift.
